How to make beautiful bonsai with stones?

Many basin friends like to make bonsai with stones for viewing. No, I had a long chat with a senior penfriend who is only in his twenties. Although young, I have been playing bonsai with attached stones for several years. Although the production process may be a bit cumbersome, it is much faster than the stump bonsai and the ornamental effect is not inferior. Therefore, the stone-pasted bonsai will become one of the traditional forms of bonsai in China.

By imitating the growth form of trees in nature, it skillfully combines trees with rocks, showing the indomitable, tenacious and self-reliant spirit of trees. Whether it is to enjoy the effect or to express the artistic conception, it is worth keeping a pot for our bonsai lovers. Of course, if conditions permit, we can also make one ourselves.

0 1, modeling style

The shapes of stone-attached bonsai are generally divided into water-attached stones and dry-attached stones. Attached water stones are made of some loose water-absorbing stones, plants are planted in holes and crevices of rocks, and then the rocks and plants are fixed in pots to make a landscape bonsai. The shape of dry bonsai is changeable, but the rock is made of hard stone, and the plants are attached to the stone, but the roots are still planted in the pot soil, which still belongs to the category of stump bonsai. At present, the attached stone bonsai are basically dry bonsai. There are many styles of dried flower bonsai, here is a brief introduction.

1, integration

That is, the roots of trees are embedded in crevices of stones or artificially dug crevices, and the main body of bonsai is replaced by rocks, while the real tree body becomes top branches and side branches. The main purpose of this style, which completely combines rocks with trees, is to make up for the shortcomings and defects in the tree and make its shape vivid. And if conditions permit, the branches on the tree can be cultivated into hanging branches or floating branches, which will be more beautiful and moving, and the shape will be integrated.

2. Cliff style

Cliff bonsai made of stone is also one of the styles that are made more. Select tall and thin rocks, the specific ratio of trees to rocks is about 2-3 cm in diameter, and the height of matched rocks is about 50-80 cm. Cliff style can also be subdivided. The specific style depends on the choice of trees and stones and their mutual collocation, so as to find the best collocation scheme and show the tenacious spirit of trees.

Step 3 sit on a stone

Listening to the name means that the tree is planted on a stone, and the selected stone can only be stable if it is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The styles and combinations of the trees on the stone are somewhat similar, but their expressions are different. The modeling of stone trees is mostly to cultivate large floating branches to express movement, and then to express vitality with the vigorous growth of branches and leaves at the top of the tree.

4. Bouldering style

The stone of bowstring bonsai is wrapped by roots, and the main shape is stump. Stone is only a supporting role, and some morphological changes are needed. Most of the shapes are inclined and curved. The characteristic of bonsai with bouldering is to hold the word, just like holding a baby, holding it tightly and sticking it tightly.

5. By pasting

Dependent and persistent, you have me and I have you. When people see it at first sight, they are presented with an inseparable and reluctant artistic conception. There is no specific shape of trees in the shape of bonsai with stones, mainly because trees and rocks are closely attached and attached to each other.

02, the choice of materials

1, rock

Nowadays, in urban life, it is not easy to find suitable materials for making stone-pasted bonsai. This depends on our usual attention and discovery. If stone is used, it is mainly required to have peculiar shapes, defects, cracks and holes, such as Taihu stone and stalactites in some areas, which are all good materials for making stone-attached bonsai.

2. Prosthetics

The selection of stump plants is relatively simple. After all, there are plant materials suitable for making stone-pasted bonsai everywhere. As long as it meets the characteristics of strong germination, developed root system, rapid growth and strong vitality, it can be the choice of stone-attached bonsai, such as boxwood, banyan and Fujian tea.

03, production skills

1，Tigen

If you want to be a stump that uses stones as bonsai, your roots must be developed. If the length of the root system does not match the stone, it is difficult to make it. Therefore, the selected stump plants should be rooted, and there are many methods for rooting, such as high soil cultivation, sleeve filling and so on. The specific operation methods are introduced in detail in the previous article. I won't go into details here.

2. Production

After the qualified stump plants and rocks are prepared, the specific operation can be carried out. No matter which style is adopted, the ultimate goal is to skillfully embed and bind the roots of stump plants on the rocks through various methods, closely and naturally, and try not to expose artificial traces. Cut the new plastic film into strips or cloth strips and wind them to make them fit tightly and naturally.

Step 3: Cultivate

Bonsai made of stone can be planted directly in pots and then maintained normally after seedling slowing. However, this method grows slowly, requires high environment, and consumes too much energy for maintenance. It is suggested that bonsai made of stone should be planted in sleeves, and the roots of stump plants should be buried in the soil. This planting not only accelerates growth and development, but also does not require much maintenance.

4. On the washbasin

Generally, after about 2 years of cultivation, trees and stones have grown together to form a whole. At this time, when watering, you can slowly scour the soil and let the stones and roots slowly emerge. It will be completely washed out in the third year. After taking it out, you can trim it and put it on the pot.

This is the end of making stone bonsai. After reading it, are you eager to try? When it's time to start work, go out and look for stones. I'm Juanzi, the girl from @ Flower House, and I like and pay attention to it. It's better to press one key for three times!
